We are witnessing the genius of Groce. Lose the last few games to avoid Kent at 11am in the quarterfinals.

Come on, Cavs. Don't F this up. Freeman in the Wine & Gold next season.

Miami Redhawks right now

As much as I hate to see PCCC have success, the social media hate for Toledo is quite enjoyable. They might want to trade in those creepy theater masks for brown bags when they head to Cleveland every year.

Scratch that

Nice redemptive season for KD. They’ve played really well since Grant returned. Next game will be a lot tougher for them.

The trolls haven't appeared in this thread today. Wonder why?

Who would have thought that Tribble would be our best shooter?

And Tribble keeps the streak alive !

Ex-Penn State football DE gets transfer portal offer Joe Moorhead - Basic Blues Nation https://basicbluesnation.com/penn-state-football-news-ex-penn-state-player-picks-up-transfer-portal-offer-from-former-oc/

I've been betting against the Zips almost every game. Including today.

Or stop rushing the shot/rushing a 3...

For what it’s worth, I went to Akron BECAUSE it is an urban university. I grew up in a cowtown so Akron used to seem really big to me, and I liked that. Not sure how many of my fellow cowtowners have the same mindset as me, but there were a handful of other people from my high school that went to Akron as well. I don’t know if I would have chosen a “college town” if I was initially from an urban area. Tough to say since I didn’t have that experience.

I was just about to hit send too. Ha!!

Toledo is getting HAMMERED in the replies to this Rothstein tweet. It's hilarious.

Top seed left - the good guys!

I've got 2 free tickets, section 107 row 2, for the first person who approaches me at The Corner Alley tomorrow and says the keyword "Rizzo"!

Dukes finished a ~respectable 6th in the A-10

I agree. If someone wants a Kent experience, go to Kent. Want an Akron experience, go to Akron.

Awesome - love to see it backed up with a second MAC tournament MVP. Go Rique!!

In 2022 my group of friends were the first people not to get tickets at pizza 216, so we all frantically used code Rizzo to get the cheapest tickets then moved over to the student section

Welp...that didn't take long. EDIT - If the schedule rotation stays the same, Akron will be hosting Youngstown State next year 😬

Good win. Need to find our 3 though

Well this was a comforting game - ish.

"Anderson Mirambeaux's gotta lot of body to put on someone"- Reghi quote of the season.

Fat guys leg hits Ali and Ali gets called for the flop and Miami gets a point from it. Make it make sense! also, wipe up the damn floor (again)!!!

Evan Wilson deserved MAC COY (Cheerleader of the Year).

For. Real.

Much less Thornton. Much more Tavari. Please.

Starting to play like they want to win. Keep up the momentum!

Evan Wilson has made every 3 point attempt in 2nd half warm-ups #FreeEvanWilson 😂

TA-VA-RI!!!!! 6 pts. Leading zips bench!!!

Defense has been good. We are scoring at will in the paint. My God if this team could shoot, it would be dangerous. Survive and advance is all that matters.

At least we're up at the half off a not-quite-dunk from Rique. Build on that momentum in the second half. Let's go Zips🔥

A defensive guy who goes straight up and has an offensive player jump into him should not be called for a foul.

And one! Scott is made for RMFH

I can't wrap my head around the fact that these guys on Miami's roster are division 1 basketball players. It looks like a bunch of white guys that should be working at Gamestop and a football lineman.

For as many "shooters" we have we should not be missing a majority of the 3s we take

Like the past couple of games, they just go into like panic mode when they get down and it. makes it worse.

For real. We need to quit jacking up 3s and take the right shots.

Our glue guys need to step up. Scott, Johnson, and Dawson all giving us negative minutes right now.

Great memory!! He was great his freshman year. Then the knee injury and he was not the same player. He shied away from contact and stopped driving to the basket. I think he transferred out to Las Vegas, his home town and was not much of a factor on his new team. Somebody indicated that Dawson is similar to Robotham. He has also has stopped attacking the basket and has become a perimeter player this year.

Man, you had a real opportunity here to have someone say something either really cool or really funny to you, and this is what you go with. "Kent sucks" "Hilltopper is the best ZipsNation member by far." "Shamalamadingdong." Something like that.

Rizzo for the win! Go Angela!

He wasn't even on Mr. Pinky's first team late in the season! LOL.

No Payton?! Blasphemy!!!

Would you expound upon this point? Personally, I love where the Info is located. I'd also be thrilled with a downtown basketball arena across from Canal Park. I'm also excited about the potential of the renovated Polsky Building bringing arts & music to Main Street. I've always believed the more vibrant Main St. & Exchange Streets are the better. I'm of the opinion the U & the city (downtown, specifically) are a symbiotic relationship. It sounds as though you and I are on different pages in this regard?

Having grown up in Cincinnati, I can tell you that crime there was and continues to be much worse than in Akron. I've done everything in my neck of the woods to talk up Akron and UA. I sent my son to UA and he loves it. I wish we all coud reach a larger audience as alumni and parents.
